KidsFringe 

Rain, rain, go away!

Our KidsFringe site was unfortunately damaged in last night’s storm. Everyone is safe, but it will take us time to get KidsFringe back up and running for our littlest fringers.

As such, the KidsFringe site will not be open today, and we’re postponing KidsFringe Opening Ceremonies. Please stay tuned to our channels for updates. We’ll be back in Lighthorse Park and ready to host kids and their caregivers soon. Thank you for your patience!
